I left the house this morning at 5am, it was dark, pouring with rain, cold, I was wearing my husbands baseball cap to keep the rain off my face (not an accessory I'd usually go for๐Ÿ˜Š), thinking "you are a crazy woman! "... But I did it!! Completed Week 3 !! I did all of the runs, and feel absolutely wonderful.

Well done you.

Going out in the rain is ever easy but it forgotten when you feel amazing afterwards.

Enjoy week 4!

Thank you! I didn't think I'd do that four weeks ago, I must have the C25K bug๐Ÿ˜Š

Good to know I wasn't out there in the rain myself this morning !! My jacket hood kept falling down - I'll have to get a cap lol Being soaked is worth that feeling of " Yay I did it" !!!

Yes the baseball cap is the way to go! It certainly is worth it...
